Be the Leader you can be

Developing your leadership skills remains one of the keys to succeeding in a high-level position. This program provides a framework and sufficient time for self-reflection, and helps you progressively develop these skills through team building exercises, group coaching and an experiential outdoor leadership training with coaches who all have extensive military experience. By the end of the program, you will have gained a greater understanding of yourself, your values and skill sets with the end goal of becoming a more effective leader.
